The Link Between Emotional Trauma and Metabolic Disorders

By Dr. Craig Wagstaff, ND

The Impact Of Enduring Emotional Trauma on Metabolism

Primary metabolic disorders include:• Gout• Diabetes• Hyperthyroidism• Hypothyroidism

Improving Metabolic PerformanceMetabolic performance can be improved with:

A balanced diet

Physical Exercise

Insults to MetabolismMental, emotional and spiritual trauma

affects the physical body, but is often left as a secondary consideration.

Initially we focus on treating visible physical symptoms and conditions.

Psychosomatic EnergeticsPSE or Psychosomatic Energetics represents

a new approach to healing.PSE operates on the principle that physical,

mental, emotional and spiritual trauma can alter the function of our physical body and how the mind perceives the world.

Psychosomatic Energetics

The PSE system is based on the concept that these unresolved traumas and conflicts adversely affect the flow of energy in the body.

PSE addresses chronic conditions caused by energy blockages.

Conflicts and TraumasConflicts are life events that negatively impact a person’s psyche and may include things such as divorce, death of a family member or other close person, loss of a job or other unwanted career change, or traumatic physical injuries. In young children what appears to be a relatively insignificant life change may have enormous emotional impact, leading to a lifetime of emotional conflict.

Conflicts and TraumasAn example of a child’s conflict is a move

from a familiar neighbourhood with a loss of friends.

Effects of Energy BlocksA block in energy flow can cause disturbed

metabolism of a localized area or region of the body, resulting in chronic illness, by interfering with the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system.

Emotions and Energy FlowThe most important energy blocks are caused

by hidden emotional conflict.Energy flow is obstructed, creating energy

disturbance at the cellular level, leading to physical symptoms and emotional maladjustment.

Psychosomatic EnergeticsMost often emotional conflicts are hidden

from our conscious awareness.The biggest advantage of Reba testing is the

ability to seek and find hidden conflicts. Addressing and healing the blocks allows

harmony and healing on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels.

Testing PSEThe testing method examines the body

through the chakra system in respect to the physical body.

Each chakra has the possibility of multiple conflicts on the mental, emotional and spiritual level.

The PSE system accurately prioritizes the conflict most in need of resolution according to the body at the time of the testing.

The Chakra SystemChakra 1 is the root chakra representing the

gonads. The colour is red. Conflicts include low self-esteem, lack of concentration, helplessness or extreme self-control.

Chakra 2 is the spleen chakra representing the adrenals. The colour is orange. Conflicts may include nervousness, anxiety or defiance.

The Chakra SystemChakra 3 is the solar plexus representing the

liver, stomach and pancreas. The colour is yellow. Conflicts may include feeling isolated, repressed emotions, unfulfilled desires, frustration.

Chakra 4 is the heart chakra representing the heart and thymus gland. The colour is green. Conflicts may include mental overstrain, deeply hurt, lack of hope, broken-hearted, panic.

The Chakra System

Chakra 5 is the throat chakra representing the thyroid and the voice. The colour is blue. Conflicts include frozen feelings, shock and feelings of victimization.

Chakra 6 is the brow chakra representing the third eye or pituitary gland. The colour is indigo. Conflicts include lack of trust, false pride, physical overstrain, restlessness, tension, discomfort.

The Chakra SystemChakra 7 is the crown chakra representing

the pineal gland. The colour is violet. Conflicts may include mistrust, materialism, and inability to face reality, judgemental.

Psychosomatic EnergeticsFrom the Psychosomatic Energetics point of

view, stresses and conflicts affect us all in one of two major ways:

Psychosomatic Energetics1) Conflicts physically interfere with the function of the different glandular systems including pancreas, thyroid, adrenals and reproductive hormones. It can be difficult to implement change through exercise and dietary change if the patient has a significant energetic block. The unconscious conflict may make the patient frequently forget to take the medication, stick to the diet or find the motivation to exercise. Progress will be slower than hoped.

Psychosomatic Energetics2) Emotional blockages can facilitate

development of a powerful self-sabotage program making it very difficult for a patient to change without outside intervention.

Some examples of self-sabotage scenarios include:

Psychosomatic EnergeticsB) An alcoholic wants sobriety and all the positive family and lifestyle changes that comes with it, but continues to hang out at the bar with his drinking buddies.

C) An elderly person with COPD is suffering terribly from low O2 saturation and uses a portable oxygen tank, but despite knowledge of the dangers of fire and oxygen, continues to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day.

Psychosomatic Energetics

C. A diabetic who wants to control blood glucose levels through diet and exercise, but has difficulty avoiding sugar and maintaining a healthful lifestyle

Psychosomatic EnergeticsPSE gives us a modality to successfully

identify and treat unresolved conflicts, which is consistently reproducible. It allows us to prioritize treatment

The average person has experienced 3 to 6 conflicts requiring resolution to allow that person to maximize wellness and find satisfaction in life.

Reba TestingUsing the Reba testing device we can quickly

identify and prioritize:1) The unresolved conflict and then identify

the unresolved emotional feeling behind the conflict.

2) The relative age at which the conflict was activated, as well as the approximate length of time required for the resolution of the conflict.

Reba TestingThe Reba testing system allows the practitioner to tell the patient: 1) what traumas have had the most

significant impact on their mental, physical and spiritual wellness.

2) which of their traumas has the most pressing need for treatment.

Case History #1PSE Remedies Chavita 5 and Emvita 17A 45 year old female presented at the clinic

with complaints of chronic obesity (BMI 32 and weight 198 lbs.) since the time of menarche. CBC, CompMetabolic and lipid profile were within normal limits. She had tried various diets and exercise programs with little to no results.

Case History #1 cont…

Reba testing showed a blockage of the 5th chakra the energy centre of the throat.

When the thyroid functions well, all the other organs with metabolic function are in balance and the person feels energetic with a sense of wellbeing.


The energetic concept is with communication, with oneself and others. Expressing oneself clearly and speaking your truth, while listening effectively.

On the emotional level, the remedy was Emvita 17, which is related to feeling like no one hears you and is also associated with people who have trouble nurturing themselves.


When the testing and results were discussed with the patient and after her tears had stopped, she expressed her belief that nobody had heard her, listened to her or valued her words, ever in her life.

Case History #1 cont......

In her professional and personal relationships she surrounded herself with stronger personalities that reinforced her belief that she had little of value to say. The unworthiness that she felt affected her ability to stay on task with her weight loss programs.

Case History #1 cont....

As she took the Rubimed remedies two major changes became evident:1) Her metabolism improved, because she was able to stay on task with her weight loss program and because the remedies were supporting her thyroid and her emotional strength. She was able to take her thyroid supplement for a shorter course of treatment and get better results from it. Once her course of Rubimed therapy was complete she was able to reduce and finally eliminate the thyroid supplement.

Case History #1 cont...

She changed most of her social contacts to a group of people she felt were interested in what she had to say and who listened.


According to our testing, using the Reba machine from PSE, this was a conflict that had manifested in her early teenage years. To resolve the conflict the treatment consisted of two sets of Chavita 5 and Emvita 17.


No other medications or supplements were used. Each set lasted approximately 6 weeks, so the full treatment for this particular conflict with this lady took close to three months to resolve. By resolving this conflict it provided the opportunity for her to make a major shift in her life.


Repeat thyroid testing showed the following: Patient Values (3 months later) Optimal

Reference Ranges TSH: 2.1 TSH: 1.2 – 2.0 µIU/mLFree T3: 2.8pg/ml free T3: 2.3 –

4.2 pg/mlFree T4: 1.2 ng/dl free T4: 0.7 –

2.4 ng/dlTotal T4: 8.0 mcg/dl total T4: 6.0 –

12.0 mcg/dlTPO: negative TPO (anti thyroglobulin antibody)BMI 29 weight 180

Case History #2

A 58 year old, non-smoking male recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a BMI 24.4

CBC, CompMetabolic and Lipid profile were within normal limits except triglycerides were slightly elevated, AM fasting glucose 14.8 mmol/L and hemoglobin A1C 9.8%.


The patient has been trying to follow a regimen of diet and exercise to control blood sugars and was having difficulty staying away from sugar.

He was also seeing life with a new perspective that included recognizing and appreciating more of the sweetness in his life and requiring less professional validation from coworkers.


The patient has been trying to follow a regimen of diet and exercise to control blood sugars and was having difficulty staying away from sugar.

He is feeling frustrated that he is not making better progress with reduction of blood sugars with the effort he is making. He is also fearful of starting what could become a lifetime of oral hypoglycemics or insulin injections.


When we tested him for the Rubimed remedies he showed a blockage in the third chakra, the energy centre for the upper abdomen.


On the emotional level the remedy was Emvita 11 which relates to feelings of frustration and powerlessness without any sense of wellbeing.

You want to be cared for and feel that somebody loves you. You need to protect yourself and hunger for the nice things in life that could bring you joy.


When test results were discussed with the patient he expressed being on a life long search for the joy in life. In his career he has a need to feel acknowledged and respected for his professional success.

In his professional relationships he is surrounded by people who fail to verbally acknowledge his accomplishments, reinforcing his belief that he gets no respect.


As he took the Rubimed remedies two major changes emerged.

1) His fasting blood sugars improved with a more effective diet and exercise program. Although he still had a craving for sugar he was better able to resist temptation. Over the course of six months, the Rubimeds caused a return to homestasis, allowing him to control his diabetes through diet and exercise alone.


He was also seeing life with a new perspective that included recognizing and appreciating more of the sweetness in his life and requiring less professional validation from coworkers.


According to our testing this conflict had manifested in his late twenties and it took six months of treatment with the Rubimed remedies to resolve the conflict.

For the first three months of treatment we supported his digestive system with digestive bitters 20 drops before meals T.I.D. and a probiotic.


Initial values 3 months 6 months

Fasting glucose 266 mg/dl or 14.8 mmol/L

180 mg/dl or 10.0 mmol/L

122.5 mg/dl or 6.8 mmol/L

Hemoglobin A1C 9.8% 8.3% 6.5%

Triglycerides 172 mg/dl or 1.94 mmol/L




Resolving all emotional conflicts, both central and less significant conflicts is an ongoing process that may take up to 2 years.

Case History #3A case of unexplained infertility.A married couple in their early thirties have

been trying to conceive without success for 7 years.

The man was showing >30% sperm binding.The woman was suffering from frequent

recurrent vaginal yeast infections and significant anxiety related to her inability to conceive.


Effects of Geopathic Stress

Reba testing showed significant geopathic stress for both of the partners.

Geopathic stress will affect the health and well being of both partners and will contribute to a reduction in reproductive health.


The treatment was to treat both partners for candida, move the bed out of the geopathic stress zone and initiate treatment with Geovita for both partners.

Reba testing indicated the same two PSE remedies for both partners as Chavita 2 and Emvita 5, effective for increasing energy to the affected area as well as reducing anxiety to a much more manageable level.


After 2 cycles of treatment the couple were able to conceive. Their child is now my patient.
